oners in each state as of June 2006.a) Explain how you could tell, by looking at a boxplot,
where the tallest bars on the histogram would be located.
b) Explain how both the boxplot and the histogram can
indicate a skewed distribution.
c) Identify one feature of the distribution that the
histogram shows but a boxplot does not.
